assignments for our last day

Good Evening, Families!

We had a good day of learning together. We had an amazing treat when Mrs. Beth joined us and shared some amazing family mementos. We saw pictures of the Berlin Wall, Berlin, Viet Nam, Woods and Mills' grandfather's medals, a hunk of schrapnel.etc. WOW! It was very educational. Many thanks! And thanks to Mrs. Irvine for being our helper.

The children read about the influenza epidemic of 1918--1919. They were very attentive to this topic. (Ask them why they paid such close attention.) We listened to a poem that Ronald Reagan memorized as a child called "Dangerous Dan McGrew". For history we made replicas of China's coat-of-arms and listened to a great library book about a boy's life during the Cultural Revolution. Both were enjoyable. Spencer wowed us with his memory of the presidents and EVERY science fact (even the elements of the periodic table!) All the kids that had a chance to recite did well. However, Spence must have put in alot of time. Bravo! to all of you.

Monument Projects are due next week. However, Talia had hers ready today and it was outstanding. A Harriet Tubman Monument that is "UNDERGROUND". Very clever! We will have show-and-tell next week just for the heck of it! We will have learning--I promise. However, it will be a relaxed and fun day. I hope you can all make it to the sock hop Tuesday evening. It will be a lot of fun.

Students, please work hard for your parents this last week of Trinity. I love you each very much and am "shamefully" proud of you!

love,
Mrs. Tkach
